[0055] Typical embodiments that embody the features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that the present invention can have various changes in different embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention, and the descriptions and drawings therein are essentially for illustrative purposes rather than for limiting the present invention.

[0056] In the following description of different exemplary embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of the present invention and in which different exemplary structures, systems and steps that can implement multiple aspects of the present invention are shown by way of example. It should be understood that other specific schemes of components, structures, exemplary devices, systems and steps can be used, and structural and functional modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Moreover, although the terms "above", "between", "within", etc. may be used in this specification to describe different exemplary features and elements of the present invention, these terms are used herein only for convenience, such as according to the direction of the examples described in the accompanying drawings. Nothing in this specification should be construed as requiring a specific three-dimensional orientation of the structure to fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0057] See also Figure 1 , which representatively shows a stereoscopic view of the ice plate recovery system proposed by the present invention in a working state. In this exemplary embodiment, the ice plate recovery system proposed by the present invention is described by taking the recovery of ice plates in the insulation box in the logistics link of fresh products as an example. It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that in order to apply the relevant design of the present invention to ice plates in other types of logistics packaging or other fields, various modifications, additions, substitutions, deletions or other changes are made to the specific embodiments described below, and these changes are still within the scope of the principle of the ice plate recovery device proposed by the present invention.

[0058] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the ice plate recovery system proposed by the present invention includes a frame 110, a conveyor line 120, an ice collection container 130 and a turning mechanism 140. Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 2 A perspective view of the ice plate recovery system in another working state is representatively shown in FIG. Figure 3 A perspective view of the flip mechanism 140 of the ice plate recovery system is representatively shown in FIG. Figure 4 A perspective view of a conveyor line 120 of an ice plate recovery system is representatively shown in FIG. Figure 5 1 is a representative perspective view of the flipping clamp 143 of the flipping mechanism 140. The structures, connection modes and functional relationships of the main components of the ice plate recovery system proposed by the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the above drawings.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveyor line body 120 is arranged on the frame 110 and extends along the first direction X, and the conveyor line body 120 can convey the insulated box 200 along the first direction X. Among them, the conveyor line body 120 has an inlet and an outlet at both ends in the first direction X, and the conveyor line body 120 can be connected to an upstream line body 300 and a downstream line body 400 respectively through the inlet and the outlet, so that the ice plate recovery system can be connected to the upstream conveying device and the downstream conveying device of the logistics system. The ice collection container 130 is arranged on one side of the conveyor line body 120 along the second direction Y, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the above-mentioned first direction X. The ice collection container 130 is used to store the ice plates taken out of the insulated box 200 for recycling. The flip mechanism 140 is located above the conveyor line body 120, and the flip mechanism 140 can adjustably clamp the insulated box 200 and can flip between the conveyor line body 120 and the ice collection container 130. Accordingly, when the insulated box 200 with ice plates enters the conveying line body 120 through the upstream line body 300, the flipping mechanism 140 can clamp the insulated box 200 and flip it over. The opening of the insulated box 200 after being flipped over a certain angle roughly corresponds to the top of the ice collection container 130, and at this time, the ice plates slide freely out of the insulated box 200 through its opening and fall into the ice collection container 130. The flipping mechanism 140 then flips the insulated box 200 and resets it to the conveying line body 120. The flipping mechanism 140 releases the insulated box 200, and the conveying line body 120 transports the empty insulated box 200 after the ice plates are removed to the downstream line body 400. Through the above design, the ice plate recovery system proposed by the present invention can realize the automatic ice dumping function of the insulated box 200, improve the automation level of the logistics system for conveying the insulated box 200 with ice plates, and improve the conveying and recovery efficiency.

[0060] Preferably, if Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the flip mechanism 140 may preferably include a bracket 141, a plurality of flip jaws 143 and a flip driving device 144. Specifically, a rotating shaft 142 is provided on the bracket 141, and the rotating shaft 142 extends substantially along the first direction X. A plurality of flip jaws 143 are arranged at intervals along the rotating shaft 142, that is, a plurality of flip jaws 143 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. A plurality of flip jaws 143 are pivotally connected to the bracket 141 through the rotating shaft 142, and the flip jaws 143 are configured to adjustably clamp the incubator 200; the flip driving device 144 is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft 142, so as to drive the rotating shaft 142 to drive the flip jaws 143 to flip. In other embodiments, the flip mechanism 140 may also include only one jaw. Furthermore, the flip mechanism 140 may not include the bracket 141, and the flip jaws 143 may be arranged on the frame 110. In addition, in order to realize the flipping of the flipping clamp 143, possible flipping and transmission designs can be adopted. For example, the flipping clamp 143 can be relatively fixed with the rotating shaft 142, and the rotating shaft 142 is rotatably arranged on the bracket 141. In this case, the flipping drive device 144 can be connected to the rotating shaft 142 or the flipping clamp 143. For another example, the rotating shaft 142 can be fixed with the bracket 141, and the flipping clamp 143 is pivotally connected to the rotating shaft 142. In this case, the flipping drive device 144 can be connected to the flipping clamp 143. This is not limited to the present embodiment.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, it specifically shows the flipping action of the flipping jaw 143 when there are multiple flipping jaws 143. On this basis, in this embodiment, the multiple flipping jaws 143 of the flipping mechanism 140 can preferably flip independently, that is, the multiple flipping jaws 143 can flip synchronously or flip individually. Based on the design that the flipping jaw 143 is pivoted to the bracket 141 through the rotating shaft 142, in order to realize the flipping function of the above-mentioned multiple flipping jaws 143, the rotating shaft 142 can be designed as a plurality of coaxially extending and spaced shafts, the rotating shaft 142 is fixed to the bracket 141, and each rotating shaft 142 is pivoted to at least one flipping jaw 143, on this basis, the flipping driving device 144 is connected to the flipping jaw 143 in a transmission manner. Alternatively, the multiple rotating shafts 142 are rotatably arranged on the bracket 141, and each rotating shaft 142 is fixedly connected to at least one flipping jaw 143, on this basis, the flipping driving device 144 is connected to the flipping jaw 143 or the rotating shaft 142 in a transmission manner. In other embodiments, when there are multiple flipping jaws 143 , the multiple flipping jaws 143 may also be designed to flip synchronously, which is not limited to this embodiment.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 2As shown, based on the design that a plurality of flip jaws 143 are rotatably arranged on the bracket 141 through the rotating shaft 142, in this embodiment, the plurality of flip jaws 143 may preferably include four groups of arrangements. Among them, the four groups of flip jaws 143 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and each group of flip jaws 143 includes two flip jaws 143 adjacently arranged along the first direction X. On this basis, the flip jaws 143 belonging to the same group may preferably flip synchronously, and the flip jaws 143 of different groups may preferably flip independently. In other embodiments, when there are multiple flip jaws 143, the multiple flip jaws 143 may include at least one group, and the flip jaws 143 belonging to the same group may be two or more, and the number of the multiple groups of flip jaws 143 may be, but not limited to, the same, and are not limited to this embodiment.

[0063] Furthermore, based on the design that the flip mechanism 140 includes a flip driving device 144 , in the present embodiment, the flip driving device 144 may preferably be a motor.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, based on the design that the flip mechanism 140 includes the flip clamp 143, in this embodiment, each flip clamp 143 may preferably include a first clamping piece 1431, a second clamping piece 1432, and a clamping drive device. Specifically, the first clamping piece 1431 has a first connecting section 14311 and a first clamping section 14312 along the second direction Y, the first connecting section 14311 is connected to the rotating shaft 142, and the first clamping section 14312 is bent relative to the first connecting section 14311. The second clamping piece 1432 has a second connecting section 14321 and a second clamping section 14322 along the second direction Y, the second connecting section 14321 is slidably disposed on the first connecting section 14311, and the second clamping section 14322 is bent relative to the second connecting section 14321. The clamping driving device is disposed between the first clamping piece 1431 and the second clamping piece 1432 to drive the second clamping piece 1432 to slide relative to the first clamping piece 1431 .

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 5As shown, based on the design that the second connecting section 14321 is slidably arranged on the first connecting section 14311, in this embodiment, the two connecting sections can be slidably matched by using the design of the slide rail 14341 and the slider 14342. For example, the slide rail 14341 can be arranged on the surface of the first connecting section 14311 facing the second connecting section 14321, and the slider 14342 can be arranged at the position corresponding to the slide rail 14341 on the surface of the second connecting section 14321 facing the first connecting section 14311. By sliding the slider 14342 on the slide rail 14341, the first connecting section 14311 and the second connecting section 14321 can be slidably matched. Vice versa, the slide rail 14341 can be arranged on the second connecting section 14321, and the slider 14342 can be arranged on the first connecting section 14311. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0066] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, based on the design of the second clamping section 14322 and the first clamping section 14312 clamping the thermal insulation box 200, in this embodiment, a first pad 14313 can be preferably set on the surface of the first clamping section 14312 clamping the thermal insulation box 200, and a second pad 14323 can be preferably set on the surface of the second clamping section 14322 clamping the thermal insulation box 200, thereby protecting the thermal insulation box, increasing friction and the like.

[0067] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, based on the design that the flip clamp 143 includes a clamping drive device, in this embodiment, the clamping drive device can be preferably a driving cylinder 1433. Specifically, the driving cylinder 1433 can include a cylinder body and a cylinder rod, the cylinder body is arranged on the first clamping piece 1431, and the free end of the cylinder rod of the driving cylinder 1433 is connected to the second clamping piece 1432. Accordingly, by controlling the extension and contraction of the cylinder rod relative to the cylinder body, the spacing between the first clamping section 14312 and the second clamping section 14322 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the clamping and releasing actions of packaging boxes of different thicknesses.

[0068] Preferably, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the conveying line body 120 may preferably include a turning table 122, a buffer line body 121, an empty box line body 123, and a transfer device. Specifically, the turning table 122 extends along the first direction X. The buffer line body 121 and the empty box line body 123 are respectively arranged on both sides of the turning table 122 along the second direction Y, the buffer line body 121 can convey the incubator 200 along the first direction X, and one end of the buffer line body 121 defines the above-mentioned inlet, and the empty box line body 123 can convey the incubator 200 along the first direction X, and the other end of the empty box line body 123 (the end away from the inlet) defines the above-mentioned outlet. The transfer device is arranged between the turning table 122, the buffer line body 121, and the empty box line body 123, and the transfer device can move the incubator 200 between the turning table 122, the buffer line body 121, and the empty box line body 123 along the second direction Y. On this basis, when the incubator 200 is moved to the flipping table 122 by the transfer device, the flipping mechanism 140 can clamp and flip the incubator 200. Accordingly, the present invention can use the buffer line body 121 and the empty box line body 123 of the conveyor line body 120 to respectively transport the incubator 200 with ice slabs not poured out and the incubator 200 with ice slabs poured out along the first direction X, and can use the transfer device to move the incubator 200 between the flipping table 122, the buffer line body 121 and the empty box line body 123. Through the above design, the ice slab recovery system proposed by the present invention can make the incubator 200 do not need to wait during the operation of the system, further improving the transportation and recovery efficiency.

[0069] Furthermore, the lengths of the cache line body 121, the turning table 122, and the empty box line body 123 along the first direction X can preferably be equal, and the length can be set according to actual needs. The longer the length, the more the number of corresponding turning claws 143 and ice collection containers 130 can be set, and the more insulated boxes 200 can be processed at the same time.

[0070] Furthermore, based on the design that the conveyor line body 120 includes a cache line body 121 and an empty box line body 123, in the present embodiment, the cache line body 121 may preferably include a plurality of first rollers 1211 arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and in addition, the empty box line body 123 may preferably include a plurality of second rollers 1231 arranged at intervals along the first direction X.

[0071] Further, based on the design that the cache line body 121 and the empty box line body 123 respectively include a plurality of rollers arranged at intervals along the first direction X, in the present embodiment, the plurality of first rollers 1211 and the plurality of second rollers 1231 may preferably correspond one to one in the second direction Y, and on this basis, the transfer device may preferably include a plurality of transfer units arranged at intervals along the first direction X, each transfer unit extending along the second direction Y, and the two ends of each transfer unit along the second direction Y are respectively located between two adjacent first rollers 1211 and between two adjacent second rollers 1231.

[0072] Further, based on the design that the transfer device includes a plurality of transfer units, in the present embodiment, each transfer unit may preferably include a translation mechanism and a lifting mechanism. Specifically, the translation mechanism extends along the second direction Y, and the translation mechanism can move the thermal insulation box 200 along the second direction Y. The lifting mechanism is arranged between the frame 110 and the translation mechanism, and the lifting mechanism can lift and lower the translation mechanism so that the bearing plane of the translation mechanism is lifted and lowered between the height above and below the bearing plane of the above-mentioned conveyor line body 120. That is, when the conveyor line body 120 conveys the thermal insulation box 200, the lifting mechanism lowers the translation mechanism so that the height of its bearing plane is lower than the bearing plane of the conveyor line body 120. At this time, the thermal insulation box 200 is carried on the conveyor line body 120 and can be transported along the first direction X or clamped and flipped by the flipping mechanism 140. Furthermore, when it is necessary to move the insulated box 200 along the second direction Y, for example, when moving the insulated box 200 from the cache line body 121 to the turning table 122, or when moving the insulated box 200 from the turning table 122 to the empty box line body 123, the lifting mechanism lifts the translation mechanism so that the height of its bearing plane is higher than the bearing plane of the conveying line body 120. At this time, the insulated box 200 is carried on the translation mechanism and can be transported along the second direction Y.

[0073] Further, in this embodiment, based on the design that the transfer device includes a translation mechanism, in this embodiment, the translation mechanism can preferably adopt a design of a belt and a transmission wheel set. In other embodiments, the translation mechanism can also adopt other designs, which are not limited to this embodiment.

[0074] Further, in this embodiment, based on the design that the transfer device includes a lifting mechanism, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism can preferably adopt the design of a lifting cylinder. In other embodiments, the lifting cylinder can also adopt other designs, which are not limited to this embodiment.

[0075] Furthermore, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the design that the conveyor line body 120 includes a buffer line body 121, a turning table 122, an empty box line body 123 and a transfer device, in this embodiment, a side of the turning table 122 adjacent to the empty box line body 123 can preferably be provided with a liftable baffle 124, and the baffle 124 can be raised when the incubator 200 is moved to the turning table 122 by the transfer device, so that the incubator 200 moved by the transfer device along the second direction Y stays on the turning table 122. Among them, based on the design that the transfer device includes a plurality of transfer units arranged at intervals along the first direction X in this embodiment, the conveyor line body 120 can preferably be provided with a plurality of baffles 124, these baffles 124 can be arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the plurality of baffles 124 and the plurality of transfer units are staggered in the first direction X.

[0076] Preferably, in this embodiment, the size of the opening of the ice collection container 130 may be larger than the size of the opening of at least one insulated box 200 , that is, one ice collection opening may be used for at least one set of flipping jaws 143 to pour out.

[0077] Based on the above detailed description of an exemplary embodiment of the ice plate recovery system proposed by the present invention, the working process of the ice plate recovery system will be described below.

[0078] When the system is running, the incubator 200 enters from the inlet of the buffer line body 121. When the incubator 200 on the buffer line body 121 reaches a predetermined number, the translation mechanism of the transfer device is lifted by the lifting mechanism until the upper surface of the translation mechanism is higher than the upper surface of the buffer line body 121. Then, the translation mechanism transports the incubator 200 along the second direction Y to the top of the flip table 122, the baffle 124 rises to stop the incubator 200 so that it stays on the flip table 122, and the translation mechanism descends. Then, the flipping claw 143 automatically clamps the incubator 200 and flips the whole around the rotating shaft 142, so that the ice plate is poured into the ice collection container 130. Afterwards, the flipping claw 143 flips reversely and puts the empty insulation box 200 back to the flipping table 122, the baffle 124 descends, and the lifting mechanism raises the translation mechanism again, and the translation mechanism moves the empty insulation box 200 to the empty box line body 123, and then the translation mechanism descends again, and the empty box line body 123 transports the empty insulation box 200 from the delivery port to the outside, thereby completing the dumping and recovery of the ice plate in the insulation box 200.

[0079] It should be noted that the ice retrieval systems shown in the drawings and described in this specification are only a few examples of the many types of ice retrieval systems that can employ the principles of the present invention. It should be clearly understood that the principles of the present invention are in no way limited to any details or any components of the ice retrieval systems shown in the drawings or described in this specification.
